The other day a well-known Detroit
doctor was eating lunch in restaurant
alongside of a business man, when the
latter remarked:
IL just saw a case to interest You in
thecigar store. THERE'S aman there who
has no feeling at all in his right arm.
Case of paralysis, of course,
replied the doctor.
"Oh, no, it isn't. He has been ex-
amined by some of the most eminent
surgeons. and they declare that it isn't.
If it was a case of paralysis he couldn't
move his arm, you know"
How long has it been sop
"Over twenty years, he tells me.
He says he'll pay any doctor $4,000 to
restore the natural feeling"
III see him, remarked the doctor,
and when dinner was over the two
went into the cigar store and the medical
man was introduced.
Ibid this thing happen all at once?''
asked the doctor.
YES. sir. There was no warning
whatever.
Does the arm feel dead?'
Perfectly dead You can stick
your knife into it without my feeling a
sensation
That's odd Let me feel of it.
The doctor put out his hand, made
one grip. and then turned ON his heel
and left the place, his face as red as
paint and his gait somewhat eccentric.

was shot of at Gettysburg. Del. Free
